Incumbent Maine Gov. Janet Mills has fended off a challenge by former Republican governor Paul LePage, keeping the governorship in Democratic hands and denying the scenery-chewing LePage his attempted comeback.
LePage's eight-year reign as governor was contentious—and often erratic—but he attempted to rewrite that recent history during a campaign that saw him brazenly lie about his own past public statements. Maine voters didn't buy it, choosing to keep the state's governor's office in the hands of the considerably more sedate Mills.
